Help Overcome Health Challenges and Find Stability

Hey! So, this hurts to swallow my pride and start this. But, things have gotten to where I’m too sick to work - whether it’s a paid job or any of the philanthropic work I do. And I’ve exhausted all my resources.

I had cancer a few years ago, and I thought that was it. Over and done. But, I was wrong. It turns out the damage done to my body was worse than the cancer itself, and now I will have to get treatments for forever to keep my levels steady and ensure my body gets what it needs to survive.

Ive known I was sick for quite some time, but was waiting to get into new doctors, as confidentiality was broken at my previous doctors, and I was uncomfortable with more information about me being leaked. (Small town problems).

I did not expect to learn how bad the damage was… and I definitely didn’t expect to find out that I have a problematic tumor again, and will need radiation and/or surgery. I’m waiting to hear what the next course of action is, but no matter which way it goes, I am very sick and most days unable to even get up and functioning.

I tried my hardest to fight through - at least during Junction’s inaugural season. But, I have to swallow my pride and admit I am too weak to go 100% with anything that I’m doing.

I hate asking for help. And if you know my story, and what else is tragically happening in my life at the moment, you would know that I’m also scared of the backlash I’ll get for asking for help.

But I have no choice. I am beyond struggling. So I humbly am asking for help to get me through the next couple months while we figure out the next steps, while I look for remote work I can do, and while I try my hardest to get out of bed and fight and work to the best of my abilities in the meantime.

I have always been the one that’s helping others, and it sucks but this time it’s my turn to ask for help.

Thank you for reading. And thanks for any donation! If I can do anything for you to return the favor - please let me know! I’m more than willing to do what I can do at this time, or give you a rain check for when I’m feeling better!!

Much love
